First Official Poster for War for the Planet of the Apes Released

The first War for the Planet of the Apes trailer is here, and with it the first official poster for the film, as well. The poster features Caesar as a full-on general, riding a horse with a rifle strapped to his back in the snow. It's a natural progression from the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes poster, which also featured Caesar on horseback - in that poster, however, he was a screaming guerilla (no pun intended) leader. Now, he's poised, calculated, and angry.

"In the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise starring Andy Serkis and Woody Harrelson, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel," reads the official press release.

The official synopsis reads:

"In War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet."
